    Amazing food and even better hospitality! Vibey new restaurant with an awesome shabu bar and cozy little cocktail nook downstairs. Perfect for date night or a dinner with friends. Open for late night food and drinks. There’s nothing else like it in the area. If you’re in SoBro you have to give this place a try.

    Went as a group of four for my birthday and had a truly wonderful experience! It was our first time at Kosho, and the food, service, and ambiance were top notch. The waygu croquettes, the simple but delicious cucumber app, the shrimp noodles- amazing. They even brought out my dessert with a sparkler for my bday! Our server was fun and attentive and professional. With so many restaurants in Nashville to choose from, it’s rare to say it but we will return for sure!

    We ordered the tequila spritz and mezcal margarita to kick us off and they were beautiful and delicious! We then got the cucumber, crispy rice, waygy croquettes. They were incredible. Drunken noodles are a must, lamb chops were delicious and the bou buns hit! We will be back to try our the Shabu experience. Awesome service, very welcoming and great vibes!

    What a great find! First off the service was impeccable- friendly staff, clearly enjoying their work and passionate about the quality of service. We sat at the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail and had awesome conversation with our bartender. Then to dinner, where every plate was a hit! Cucumber Sunomono was a great palate cleanser, edamame hummus was a unique surprise- so yummy- and make sure to get all the yakitori options! Our server Joyous was a vibe, as was the music during the entire dinner. Cant wait to visit again next time we’re in Nash!!

We're glad to hear that food, drinks, and service were a hit and we look forward to having you back with us next time you're in town.

    We loved our dinner experience at Kosho at the Shabu bar. We tried several of the shareables, shabu, and the special matcha cheesecake! It’s a bit off the beaten path but is a short walk from Broadway and has a paid garage attached to it.

    Shareables, shabu, AND special matcha cheesecake?! Sounds like you had a good evening to say the least. Thanks for coming, Katy; we hope to see you again soon.
